Toyota is no longer a quality primer in the USA, but has been replaced by Honda in second place. This means that they are certainly still tens of times better than other manufacturers, but the nimbus of all outstanding quality is gone. “Motor Authority” sees this development as a big risk, as the cars would certainly not be bought because of the exciting range of models, but because of the reliability. Quote: It-s no secret that Toyota-s production volume puts it in the number one spot glo bally. And until recently, Consumer Reports had placed the Japanese mega-maker at the top of the reliability charts as well. According to data released today, however, Honda has pumped Toyota to number two in predicted reliability. […] Toyota ertainly not based on their exciting product lineup – so sacrificing quality for quantity is a very risky proposition. Source: No surprising development, as I think.
